Children can stay warm thanks to Darke Co. Sheriff’s program GREENVILLE – The Darke C o u n t y Sheriff’s Department RYAN BERRY is joining Managing Editor forces with bluebagmedia.com other local law enforcement agencies, ﬁre and medical professionals and Crime Stoppers for the 11th annual Warm Winter Wear for Darke County Children. This program has provided coats, hats, and gloves to over 3,000

children in the previous 10 years. Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker said his ofﬁce continues to get numerous requests for coats and expects this year’s totals to match or exceed last year’s distribution. The department has a new partner for the program this year. Over the past 10 years, Kmart has been a strong supporter of the program. With their departure from the community, the Greenville Walmart Supercen-

Through their support, Warm Winter Wear is provided to all Darke County Schools, including Head Start programs. The program provides Warm Winter Wear to children ages 0-13 in need. Whittaker pointed out several coats have already been given to local children this year.

Construction going well; staff delighted with changes GREENV I L L E – Greenville High School’s getting a BOB ROBINSON new look alAssociate Editor most daily… bluebagmedia.com somewhat noticeable on the outside; obvious in certain inside locations. The business office has a bright, cheery look thanks to installation of new windows. Greenville Schools Superintendent Doug Fries was pleased they were finished, noting the staff was also happy about it. Assistant Principal Dave Torrence was delighted with his office… He pointed to the windows. “Before, it could be 20 degrees outside but with the sun streaming in the windows, 80 degrees inside.” Referring to some of the rooms on the second floor that had been remodeled, he said, “I used to walk upstairs and by the time I came back down I’d be sweating.” Climate control (and the new windows) makes the difference, he noted. “It’s a beautiful thing!” Jon McGreevey, GSD Career Technology and Business Operations Director,” showed a few of the areas completed, or nearing completion. “The HVAC system was the big operation over the summer,” McGreevey said. It required an electrical

upgrade, with a small room devoted exclusively to housing it. “When it’s complete individual rooms will be computer controlled from a single location.” The system was already in operation in some areas, including the administrative ofﬁces and several of the classrooms. Mrs. Huffman’s art class was one of them. Students were working comfortably in a climatecontrolled room. Music rooms had a new look… storage areas for equipment, acoustical tiling, climate control. Students were working quietly in a remodeled study hall with the stage removed. McGreevey noted there were stages available at the gymnasium, and Memorial Hall for big events. “It was an unnecessary duplication,” he said. Rooms are being remodeled four or ﬁve at a time during the school year; currently the

work is being done on the second ﬂoor. He showed how the hallway blocks off the rooms currently under construction. “These should be ﬁnished in the next couple of weeks,” he said. McGreevey also noted the roof of the high school… work there is pretty much complete. “Things have really gone smoothly,” he said. “Staff has worked well with the construction… it’s been a real team effort.” Fries said the K-8 building on North Ohio is also on schedule. “The Board has approved the foundation package; it’s been sent off to the Ohio Schools Facility Commission for approval. The ‘Early Site’ package is the current phase; the ‘Foundation’ package is next. We anticipate that will begin about the second week of November.”

Districts enjoy weather, stick with Calamity Days DARKE COUNTY – “Only one two-hour delay due to fog this BOB ROBINSON year,” said Associate Editor Greenville bluebagmedia.com Superintendent Doug Fries. “A lot better than last year.” The district lost two full days, plus some two-hour delays by this time the previous year, primarily due to fog. Fries said he was optimistic this time with the board-approved calendar of ﬁve allotted calamity days and ﬁve make-up days to use if needed. The schedule for this year had already been set when the Ohio Legislature passed HB 416 giving schools ad-

ditional options. Some districts in northern Ohio had lost as many as 13 calamity days by that time. Greenville had lost nine. Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed the bill on March 26 allowing schools to add four calamity days to their regular ﬁve days that don’t need to be made up. This can happen after schools had used four of their required contingency plan days. With the ﬁrst quarter of the 2014-15 school year wrapped up, Jim Atchley, superintendent of Ansonia Local Schools and Mississinawa Valley Local Schools, and John Stephens, superintendent of Arcanum-Butler Local Schools, also were com-

fortable with school calendars approved by their boards. Atchley said both Mississinawa Valley and Ansonia had the legally allowed ﬁve days, plus two scheduled makeup days during the year and three to be tacked on at the end of the year. “Mississinawa Valley also has three e-days (working at home on the Internet) as options if needed. Ansonia does not at this time.” Atchley added they were off to a great start in both districts with no off days or delays. Stephens said they had the same ﬁve calamity days with two makeup days (President’s Day and the Monday after Easter).

He added they also had three blizzard bag days they could use. “We had several fog delays by this time last year,” he said. “This year only one fog delay and no closings.” Josh Sagester, Tri-Village Local School superintendent, said their calendar as well had been approved, so they were staying with the ﬁve calamity days plus three blizzard bags. “The blizzard bags were a learning process for the staff,” he said. “They have to have everything on the web by a certain date, they take it live when it’s necessary.” This works for students with access to the Internet; for those without they will get hard copies.

“Kids have two weeks to complete the work,” Sagester said. He wasn’t exactly sure but thought Tri-Village had 13 calamity days last year with the state forgiving three or four of them. “I think we went to nine or ten,” he added. So far this year the district had one fog delay compared to a couple fog delays this time last year. Going better, smoother this time around? “Absolutely!” Sagester said. “Especially for a second-year superintendent! The ﬁrst year was tough.” Jeff Patrick, Franklin Monroe superintendent, said last year’s legislative action really had no impact on their plans for

the year. “We converted to hours… have enough for 18-20 calamity days without making any up.” He added, however, he had no desire to give up more instructional days than he had to. “We’re going to take our ﬁve calamity days, along with three blizzard bag days. If we need to go to nine, we’ll make up the day.” According to Aaron Moran, Versailles Exempted Village Schools superintendent, they also are sticking with their ﬁve calamity days plus three E-days. Last year they’d had a couple school delays by this time; no issues so far this year.

Delphos Peace sentenced BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE – Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein ordered Delphos Ray Peace to serve 10 years in prison Thursday afternoon. The 28-yearold Peace was charged with the violent robbery of local private business owner Glen Frick. He was apprehended almost immediately after being posted on the Darke County Crime Stoppers Most Wanted website with a $1,000 cash reward offered. According to an investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, Peace reportedly struck Frick in the head with a wood handle multiple times before stealing his wallet and some cash on Aug. 25 at his small engine business at his home on 5740 Jaysville St. Johns Road. The 63-year-old Frick sustained several severe injuries to his face and lower jaw which he had to have wired shut for over a month after undergoing reconstructive surgery. According to Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby, Frick still has to have more surgeries in the future. “This was truly an offense that shocked the

community,” Ormsby said during Thursday’s hearing. “It was hard for anyone to imagine what the reasoning was that Mr. Frick was injured as extensively as he was for just a couple hundred dollars.” In addition to the Aggravated Robbery and Felonious Assault charges for the violent offense on Mr. Frick, Peace was also indicted on two counts of Grand Theft, felonies of the fourth degree, two counts of Sale of Counterfeit Controlled Substance, a fourth and ﬁfth degree felony, and Receiving Stolen Property, a ﬁfth degree felony. He entered a plea of No Contest to the Aggravated Robbery, Sale of Counterfeit Controlled Substance and Receiving Stolen Property. The other counts were all dismissed by the prosecution as part of a plea agreement with Peace and local defense attorney Randall E. Breaden. “Mr. Peace is remorse-

ful and knows the seriousness of the offense he committed,” Breaden said during the sentencing phase of Thursday’s hearing. “He has told me he doesn’t know why he assaulted Mr. Frick and was under the inﬂuence of drugs at the time of the offense.” Peace was on probation at the time of the robbery and has serves several theft-related prison sentences prior to this case. He will not have an option to appeal the conviction, according to Judge Hein, and will be ordered to pay restitution once he completes the 10 year sentence for all of Frick’s medical related expenses. Frick, who reportedly did not have insurance at the time of the attack, has received help from the community “gifts of love” and the Crime Victims Compensation Fund program which is ran by the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce. “I didn’t know how much support we really had from the community until something like this happened!” Glen Frick stated in an update previously published in The Early Bird.

Father convicted for shooting up son in hospital BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE – Aaron L. York, 42, of Greenville pleaded guilty Thursday to an amended charge of Attempted Corrupting Another with Drugs. He was charged following an investigation by the Greenville Police Department after a hospital staff member witnessed York administer heroin into his 18-year-old son’s IV while being a patient on

Sept. 23. York was originally indicted on one count each of Corrupting Another with Drugs, a second degree felony, and Drug Trafﬁcking, a ﬁfth degree felony. The state dismissed one and lowered the other to a third degree felony of Attempted Corrupting of Another with Drugs as part of a plea bargain. Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein reduced

the original $30,000 bond and allowed York to be free on an own recognizance (OR) bond with house arrest until his sentencing date of Dec. 1. He faces a maximum of 36 months in prison and a $10,000 ﬁne. Since he was on a community control sanction at the time of the offense, York could also face a probation violation. His son is currently jailed in Darke County for a probation violation in connection with the case.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Police investigate stolen vehicle, assault and wood fire On October 31 police spotted a tan Lincoln on South Broadway with Indiana license plates. A check through LEADS indicated the plates belonged to a Ford truck. The vehicle was spotted again pulling out of Circle Mart on East Main Street. The officer activated emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop and the vehicle accelerated and made a quick right turn into an alley behind East Main. Emergency lights and siren were both activated; the officer informed dispatch a vehicle was refusing to stop. When the officer turned into the alley he could no longer see the vehicle. He found it a few moments later in the grass behind 333 E. Main St. The occupants had fled. The resident at that address said the vehicle didn’t belong to him and he’d never seen it before. A witness said he saw a tall white male, approximately 150 lbs., wearing a yellow hat, exit from the vehicle and begin running north on East Main. After speaking to another officer, it was discovered Corey Bellis, who had just been arrested, admitted to being the driver. He said he and a friend came to Greenville to sell items at the pawn shop and then go to Dayton to buy drugs. The vehicle was searched; found were 18 white oblong pills and 16 red and green pills. The officer later contacted the owner of the vehicle, advising him that with proof of ownership, the vehicle would be released to him. ASSAULT On October 21 police were dispatched to Wayne Hospital regarding an assault complaint. The victim, Devin W. Eckard, said he was at his residence with the suspect, Nicholas R. Neal, and a friend. Eckard said he thought Neal was intoxicated and got upset when Eckard grabbed one of the phones they share. They began arguing over the phone and household bills. Then Neal allegedly began punching him with closed fists on the head and face. Eckard estimated he’d been hit about 40 times and sustained visible injuries to the face. His left eye was swollen and bruised, a swollen nose, the beginning of discoloration around the right eye, and dried blood on his nose, lips and clothing. He also complained of a headache. The friend who was present said his recollection of the event matched Eckard’s. Attempts to contact Neal were made at his residence, as well as at his mother’s. As of Oct. 28, several attempts had been made to locate Neal. The case and the citation will be forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for an arrest warrant. FIRE

On September 25 responded to 1035 Donald regarding a fire having started in a wood pile near a detached garage. Greenville Fire Department had already extinguished the fire. GFD advised they did not see any evidence of an accelerant at the scene of the fire. There was minor damage to an area of vinyl near the southwest corner of the garage door. It appeared the fire was started on the wood near the garage door and spread to surrounding wood in the driveway. A witness said he observed a glow outside and went out with his phone. He called the fire department. He added he didn’t see anyone in the area, but heard voices and believed the subjects might have left to the northeast on foot. About 40 minutes later police observed a possible suspect carrying a five-gallon gas can and a lighter. The individual stated he doesn’t live in Greenville but a friend brought him here. The friend ran out of gas and called another individual to ask if he had fuel. The suspect said he met the friend at a specific location to get the gas can. When the officer took the suspect to that address, he said it was a different address. The officer took the suspect to the Greenville Police Station where he was read his Miranda Rights and interviewed again. The suspect was then taken to where the truck was supposed to be. After searching the area he said he couldn’t remember where the truck was. He was returned to GPD and a girlfriend was contacted to pick him up. No other information. JUVENILE On the morning of October 29 a 7-year-old juvenile rode his bike to Burger King, 423 Wagner Ave., and told an employee he was hungry, he had no money and his mom sleeps all the time. They called police, who then notified Children’s Services. He repeated his story, adding there was nothing to eat at the house. Police asked why he didn’t wake his mother up. He shrugged his shoulders. He was asked if he understood he could

get his mother in trouble by leaving the house. He shrugged his shoulders. The case worker took the child home; police took the bike. The mother said she was asleep and he was supposed to be grounded for getting an out-of-school suspension. He wasn’t supposed to be on his bike. The mother, also noted as the suspect, has two other young children and doesn’t work. The mother told police the child had already been told she could get into trouble with him wandering off. Police advised her since the child ignored her warning she needed to take further steps to stop him from leaving without her knowledge. The suspect was given a warning for Child Endangering. Approximately two hours later the juvenile’s mother called police to say she’d gone upstairs for a few minutes and when she returned the child had again taken his bicycle and left. The juvenile was located in Greenville City Park at the Peacock Pen. An ofﬁcer took possession of the child’s bicycle so it could not be used again. The mother was advised the bike will be kept until the following Monday until she could make arrangements to pick it up. When questioned why he kept leaving the child started crying, saying he missed another caregiver. The mother said she would try to contact that individual so they could visit. As this was the second incident involving the child and the mother, a report was provided to children’s services. On October 28 police were informed a GHS student was sitting in his car in the student parking lot, lighting what appeared to be a bowl and taking a “hit.” Two administrators contacted the mother, and once she had arrived, began to search the vehicle with police standing by. The vehicle was on school property. Marijuana in a clear plastic baggy, a glass bowl with burnt residue, some rolling papers, an E-cigarette and an open pack of cigarettes were all found. Police took possession of the drugs and other items. The juvenile admitted all items

belonged to him. He was cited for Possession and Drug Paraphernalia and released to his mother. DECEASED On October 20 police were advised a Good Samaritan House resident at 451 E. Third St. was found deceased. Greenville Township Rescue was inside the apartment with the subject, Bradley Kreider. Kreider reportedly had stage 4 throat cancer and was a chronic alcoholic. The coroner’s ofﬁce was on the scene. Next of kin was contacted and the deceased was transported to Wayne Healthcare. WARRANTS On October 23 police were dispatched to the police station regarding the defendant, Jesse Cheadle, being in the lobby and wanted on a bench warrant, original charge Assault. He was placed under arrest and transported to Mercer County jail. On October 27 police were dispatched to assist Adult Parole with the arrest of William Downey regarding a parole violation. Downey was transported to Darke County jail. EARLY BIRD POLICY The Greenville Police Beat is prepared from public records available at the Greenville Police Department.

National Hospice Month GREENVILLE – State of the Heart Hospice joins the nation’s 5,500 other hospices in observing National Hospice Month in November. The month honors the work done by hospices nationwide. Altogether, hospices provided compassionate hospice care to more than 1.6 million patients. For State of the Heart, the past year has been a momentous one culminating with a 100 percent per-

fect score given recently by the Joint Commission which surveys hospices nationwide. Last year, State of the Heart cared for 839 patients and their families in eastern Indiana and western Ohio. Of that number, nearly 800 families utilized the free bereavement support provided by the nonproﬁt agency which has served area communities for 33 years. Over a year ago, State of

the Heart opened a Care Center at Wayne HealthCare and has served nearly 200 patients and their families in the ﬁve-bed care center. “We continue to provide the best care possible to patients and families who need our services,” stated Ted Bauer, executive director for State of the Heart. “We expanded the care by providing an inpatient care center for patients who need care in such a setting.” The Care Center is for patients from the entire service area and is the only such care center in the service area. Mindy Stebbins, director of business development for State of the Heart, commented that “the fact we had a 100 percent score is indicative of the quality care we provide our patients and their families. Accreditation by the Joint Commission is recognized nationwide as

a symbol of quality. Our perfect score exempliﬁes how we are leading the industry in quality hospice care, assuring patients and their families that they receive the best hospice care possible.” State of the Heart held the agency’s 14th annual Camp BEARable in July for grieving children. Since the camp was established in 2000, nearly 600 young people have been helped through attending the camp which is free for children six to 15. In addition, the State of the Heart Hospice bereavement team provided support in schools for students and staff when a sudden death occurred. Free grief support services and programs were provided to both adults and children. The bereavement support is available to anyone in the community who needs the support, regardless of association with hospice. According to national hospice statistics, 66 percent of those patients cared for by the nation’s hospices were cared for in their home – either their own home, nursing homes or residential facilities. State of the Heart, like all hospices, works to keep the patient at home in a familiar and comfortable setting where they are close to family, loved ones and their pets. Hospice care is provided by a team of health care professionals which includes physicians, nurses, health aides, social workers, bereavement specialists, chaplains, music therapists and volunteers. They interact on an ongoing basis, assuring that all needs of the patient and the family are being met. No patient is ever denied care based on an inability to pay. Volunteers are an important part of the team. Nationally, 400,000 volunteers provided 19 million hours of service, saving hospices hundreds of thousands of dollars with their support. Volunteers for State of the Heart donated over 7,000 hours of their time last year, saving the agency more than $73,000. State of the Heart has ofﬁces in Greenville, Coldwater and Portland. For more information about any of the services, visit the agency web site at www.stateoftheheartcare.org.

ON YOUR MIND

The dangers of powdered caffeine In May, Dennis and Kate Stiner faced a tragedy that no SHERROD p a r e n t BROWN should U.S. SENATOR have to endure. Their son Logan – a student athlete at Keystone High School in LaGrange, who planned on attending the University of Toledo this fall – died from ingesting too much powdered caffeine three days before his high school graduation. Since then, the Stiners have become courageous advocates for consumer safety so that no other parents will have to suffer the same senseless loss. Last week, I joined the Stiners in Cleveland to call on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban the sale and marketing of powdered caffeine and prevent more accidental deaths. The FDA has alerted consumers to the dangers of powdered caffeine on its website but these products remain readily available without any sort of regulations, warnings, or protections. I believe the FDA must to do more to protect American consumers. Caffeine is an accepted part of our culture – you would be hard pressed to ﬁnd someone who hasn’t enjoyed a cup of coffee or tea, or a can of soda or an energy drink to concentrate or gain energy. Powdered pure caffeine, however, is not well understood and its high concentration makes it

dangerous. Even a small amount of powdered caffeine can kill. According to the FDA, one teaspoon of powered caffeine is like drinking 25 cups of coffee all at once. That is more than six times the recommended daily amount of caffeine for an adult. Teenagers – who may be tempted to use powdered caffeine to stay awake in class or to improve their sports performance – are recommended to have no more caffeine than what you would ﬁnd in a single cup of coffee. To complicate matters, the recommended serving size of powdered caffeine is one-sixteenth of a teaspoon. That amount is so small that it’s nearly impossible to estimate without a food scale and a special miniature measuring spoon. Most kitchens don’t have those tools, putting powdered caffeine users at risk for fatal measuring errors. Too much caffeine can cause rapid or erratic heartbeat, seizures, and even death but, despite these risks, powdered caffeine can be purchased online or in stores with little warning or guidance. Kids and teenagers can even purchase this deadly stimulant in bulk online with the click of a button and no parental supervision. We need to take action before more lives are lost. I’ll continue working with my colleagues in Washington to press the FDA to pull this product from the market.

Balanced Budget could save Medicare T h i s time of y e a r , m a n y seniors in our area have JOHN BOEHNER U.S. REPRESENTATIVE questions SPEAKER a b o u t OF THE HOUSE M e d i care, as Medicare Open Enrollment is from now until Dec. 7. That’s why my office stands ready to assist any constituents who may have questions about the Medicare Open Enrollment period or are experiencing issues with receiving benefits. For more information about services available to seniors in Ohio’s Eighth Congressional District, call 339-1524 or visit our “Services for Seniors” webpage at boehner.house.gov. Perhaps one of the most commonly-asked questions I hear is: “Will Medicare be available for me and my children?” Today, Medicare and Social Security are still scheduled to go bankrupt and the national debt stands at $17.8 trillion, an increase of $7.2 trillion under President Obama – who has yet to propose a credible plan to balance the budget, despite admitting in 2011 that “all this rising debt will cost us jobs and damage our economy.” To address this, my colleagues and I in the House have passed a balanced budget that protects and strengthens Medicare for current and future generations. Meanwhile, President Obama now actually denies there is a problem, going so far as to brag about cutting the annual budget deficit – which is still bigger than any year before he took office. It amazes me when I hear the president bragging about cutting the deficit, especially considering

that he has opposed and denounced nearly every responsible attempt to address the drivers of the government’s exploding debt: autopilot spending on programs such as Medicare and Social Security. As I’ve long said, solving our spending problem is the key step we must take in order to have any shot at saving Medicare and Social Security. Our spending problem is bad for our economy, and it’s stealing from our kids and our grandkids – robbing them of benefits they’ll never see and leaving them with burdens that are nearly impossible to repay. Earlier this year, we passed three progrowth budget reform bills and a balanced budget that would help save programs like Medicare, stop spending money our country doesn’t have, root out waste, and begin to pay down our debt. And we’re not backing down – I’ve made this one of our top priorities in the People’s House. While President Obama may be fine with the current status quo, I refuse to accept it. My five points for resetting America’s economic foundation includes saving programs like Medicare and Social Security from bankruptcy – not denying the problem. These programs are crucial to thousands of Ohioans and tens of millions of Americans, and they need to be fixed and put on a sustainable path. As I continue my work to protect and strengthen Medicare, I want to hear from you. Please visit boehner.house.gov to send me an e-mail or call 339-1524 to share your thoughts on this or any other issue you may be facing. I look forward to hearing from you.

Chicago doesn’t like me Grumpy Side of 60 by Bob Robinson Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com

Nearly half of my Edison students want to leave Darke County to pursue their dreams. Why??? I ask myself… What could they possibly be thinking? They say they want the excitement of the ‘big city.’ They want the opportunity of the ‘big city.’ Of course they don’t want to raise a family in the ‘big city.’ “I’ll move to the suburbs when the time comes,” said one. The others didn’t respond. Maybe this was the ﬁrst time they thought about it. Most said they would probably come back here to retire, but by then their families would be gone. I often wonder if they’ve really thought it through. Crime in the ‘big city.’ Prices… crowds… life at 90 miles an hour… Then, of course, there’s trafﬁc in

the ‘big city.’ In Orange County (Calif.) there was a time I worked across the street from where we lived. We did it because of the traffic. I would have loved to walk to and from work, but it wasn’t safe… yeah, they had crosswalks, but no one paid attention; and typically I had errands to run during lunch… so I drove. If I left the right time of day (about midafternoon) I’d only have to wait for a couple stop light changes to make it across the street. If I left the wrong time of day (quitting time), it could take two, three times as long. There was one day where I sat at the light for over 45 minutes because traffic was backed up in all directions. When I finally managed to get out of the Golden state, I swore I’d never enter a big city, or get involved in big city traffic, again. Rude awakening… one sister lives in Atlanta, the other in Chicago. I’ll visit but that doesn’t mean I like it. If you’ve ever had to

travel through Chicago you know it can be a real bag of worms. I’ve been there many times over the years; most recently for family concerns. First, there’s Indiana. They don’t have a speed limit. Well… they do… but nobody pays attention to it. I’m cruising along at 70 to 75 mph (speed limit 70) when suddenly I see this front bumper a foot from my tail in the rear view mirror. Or something shoots by me out of a rocket launcher. Then there’s Chicago. There are no speed limits there, either. It doesn’t need them. Almost from the time you cross the state line into Illinois, trafﬁc is selfcontrolled from just under the speed limit to slow to stopped. It’s like being in California all over again… with one exception. Courtesy. In California if you’re in the wrong lane, you’re likely to stay there for 20 or 30 miles before you see an opening you can sneak into. In Chicago, if you’re in the wrong lane, all you have to do

is nudge your front end into the lane you need and you are allowed to move in. Just stay out of their way when you finally get a break in traffic. Chicago drivers are wonderful. The only time I ever had a problem was last month when a big, black SUV almost took my front end off for having the audacity to nudge into his territory. The driver behind him let me in. I thought about re-evaluating my opinion of Chicago drivers until I saw the guy’s license plate. He was from Pennsylvania. I’ve always wondered, though, why it took so much longer to get through Chicago going north than it did going south. North? Two plus hours. South? Fifty-five minutes on average. It’s almost as if Chicago doesn’t want me to come in but is delighted to let me leave… Then I figured it out… Chicago, just like Callie Z, doesn’t like me.

READERS WRITE CAUV dis-information There has been a lot of talk lately about the increases in farm property tax due to the recent re-calculation of the CAUV formula. No one was complaining the past few years of record high crop prices and no increase in property taxes. When the time came to re-assess the property tax based on higher crop prices, it is portrayed as a huge issue by those wishing to use it as a bully pulpit. The formula for the CAUV calculation has been known by all involved and especially those who are closely involved with the state advisory committee. The system has worked well since the 1970’s. Mr. Finnarn states on his website “He is a long time member of the Agricultural Advisory Committee of the Division of Tax Equalization, Department of Taxation, State of Ohio, and this CAUV Advisory Committee functions to advise the Ohio Tax Department on the operation of the Current Agricultural Use Valuation (CAUV) law and the consequent valuations used under that program, yet when it becomes politically advantageous to use the recent increases due to high crop prices, he writes in a letter to the editor that we need to modify “ the tremendous and unwarranted increases in the Current Agricultural Use

Value (CAUV)”. Where was he the last couple years when we were receiving high prices and no property tax increase? Why are we just hearing from him now? Surely someone intimately involved with the formula and law should have known what was coming and not waited until the prices fell and taxes increased to preach doom and gloom after touting CAUV as one of his crowning achievements. Or maybe it just sounds good in a political endorsement… Rich Tennison Arcanum -------------------------Disrespectful & Bias Dear Editor, Although Mr. Ackley, your cartoonist, may think his cartoons are clever and funny, I ﬁnd his repeated attacks on President Obama and other democratic servants to be very disrespectful and bias. It is ob-

vious to many that your newspaper is right-wing conservative based but you must remember that the majority spoke with their vote when electing President Obama for two terms. The democratic party is quite often the silent majority but we

are watching and waiting for the next chance to elect candidates that lead our country forward. It would be in the best interest of The Early Bird to represent all citizens. Respectfully, Jenny Clark, Arcanum

him with, his voice. Christian has suffered personal hardships and as a result, God has given him a special heart for those who are hurting and trying to ďŹ ll the emptiness in their own lives. The Cancer Association of Darke County is grateful to Christian for lending his talent for this event and feels that everyone that attends will be blessed by his ministry. Also performing will be New Dawn. This group was formed in 2009 when three gospel singers were united by a series of non-related events. Bruce Shank had been singing gospel music since 1997 with various groups. In 2004 he went solo. His sister, Dixie Magee, joined him in 2006 and they performed for several months as a duet. In late 2008 they met Larry Hart and discovered his vocal talents. Larry was

asked to join Bruce and Dixie, and the trio, New Dawn, was formed. The songs they sing speak to the heart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each with its own meaning. They have performed in the tristate area at churches, fairs, festivals and beneďŹ ts. They currently have two CD projects. For information about their projects, contact Bruce Shank, 692-5789. Admission is free to this concert and there will be a freewill offering taken with all proceeds to go to your local cancer organization that serves Darke County only. Cancer Association of Darke County is not afďŹ liated with American Cancer Society nor Relay for Life. The organization is supported by United Way and others who donate generously to help our local cancer patients. Please call Christine at 548-9960 if you have questions about this event or the organization.

Davis to sing at Greenville church GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Triumphant Christian Center is pleased to present multi-Dove Award winning and Grammy nominated artist Christian Davis in a musical worship hour Nov. 9, 11 a.m. It is a rarity in any genre of musical entertainment when someone comes along with an individual talent that can capture an audience for an entire performance. Even more of a rarity is someone with not only God given talent but the heart and compassion to make a difference. The hand of God is truly working in Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. At a very young age, Christian and those close to him knew there was a special calling on his life. Christian began singing at age 3 and throughout his childhood he learned to play various instruments. As Christian grew older and made a commitment to use his talents for the purpose they were given, God placed a unique smooth bass vocal on him that usually takes many years of seasoning. During his musical career Christian began singing with the Sounds of Liberty while attending Liberty University, later Christian, along with Dr. Jerry Falwell, formed The Old Time Gospel Hour Quartet. Christian has also been part of the Christian Brothers Quartet and Mercyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mark. Christian has witnessed countless souls come to know Jesus as their Savior and has seen hearts and lives changed by the power

of God. Along his journey, Christian has suffered personal hardships and as a result God has given him a special heart for people who are hurting and trying to ďŹ ll the emptiness in their own lives. After much prayer and direction from the Lord, Christian has now begun a new chapter in his life that allows him to maintain select dates in his solo ministry and also join his talent with Dailey & Vincent. Christian believes God has great things in store for the group and his solo ministry. Triumphant Christian Center is located at 1129 South Towne Court in Greenville and Christian is excited to sing and share his testimony as God opens this door for him to be about his Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Business in Greenville.

HEARING AIDS... MY FAMILY’S STORY by Dr. Lucille Hosfeld, AUD, CCC-A Beltone - Helping The World Hear Better My father had a hearing problem and wore hearing aids for many years. My mother was a huge supporter when he made the decision to get help for his hearing loss.

Through the years my mother has also developed significant hearing loss. During one of our family get togethers I saw my mother struggle with the conversations going on around her. When we were alone I mentioned that I would like to help her with hearing aids as I did for my father. My mother became very upset. She said if I mentioned anything about hearing aids to her again she would never speak to me. Years went by and my mother continued to ignore the problem.

Rafﬂe items include a Matt Light autographed framed photo, Kindle paper white, handcrafted oak doll cradle with handmade quilt, Goebel German “Flight into Egypt” ceramic, quilted lap robe, and a metal fabricated welcome sign. These rafﬂe items can be seen at the Minuteman Press display window, 413 S. Broadway, Greenville. Admission is free. Call the parish Rectory, 548-1616 for further information.

This year my daughter got married in Louisville. My sister, her family and my mother and father drove to Louisville from Pennsylvania. It was a long, 13 hour drive in a car with a lot of conversation. As we were getting things ready for the wedding my mother finally confided in me. She admitted that her hearing loss was becoming a real problem. She said she didn’t understand many of the conversations during the drive to Louisville. She asked if I would fit her with hearing aids. I was very happy that she was ready to get the help she needed and deserved. I told her how proud I was of her for taking this step. Since we were in Louisville the hearing aids had to wait until after the wedding. My mother came to visit a few weeks later. I conducted a thorough hearing evaluation. She did have a significant hearing loss and we discussed options for hearing aids. With the hearing aids on she couldn’t believe how well she was hearing. She said she wished she had the hearing aids for my daughter’s wedding because she missed a lot of the conversation and didn’t hear anything during the ceremony. She regrets having waited so long. She loves her new hearing aids and can’t believe how easy they are. Mom said...”I used to hear the laugh but was always missing out on the funnies that led to the laugh.”

GREENVILLE – The Greenville High School will open its doors to community members seeking a warm, safe place to walk on winter evenings. The public is invited to walk at the high school from 6-8 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, beginning Nov. 3, and continuing through March 19, 2015. There will be no walking during Christmas break. Also, if school is closed during a day or there are parent/teacher conferences, then it will be

closed to walking that evening. A complete calendar of available walking dates will be available to walkers at the sign-in desk. Last year, dozens of people enjoyed the program. Greenville City Schools is happy to support this wellness activity to beneﬁt residents of the community. Seven and a half laps around the interior hallway loop is equivalent to one mile. Walkers go in a clockwise direction on Mondays and Wednesdays and counterclockwise

on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The district is pleased to provide a safe, free and warm place for people to walk. The program does not cost the school district extra money because volunteers monitor the walkers and custodians are usually working in the building during the evening. Thank you to those who help monitoring the activity including SADD Club, IMTV, Supply Chain Management, Student Council, NJROTC and members

of the school board and school district personnel. Those interested in walking at the high school are asked to enter by the main entrance by the flagpole, sign in upon arrival and check off their name when leaving. Walkers are asked to walk only on the first floor. No running or jogging is allowed. Also not allowed are wheeled items such as strollers and skateboards. Students under the age of 10 must be accompanied by a parent or adult.

GREENVILLE – In its third year, the Back-Pack program has helped feed over 220 Greenville elementary students. It was created after noticing some students coming back to school on Monday being hungry from not having much if anything to eat at home over the weekend. The program is operated by the Woodland PTA which receives generous donations and

volunteers to help keep it running. According to program organizers, over 100 students beneﬁt from the packages which contain meals and snacks to help feed them an entire weekend. This number is up from 80 kids last year. On Thursday, Oct. 23, the Greenville cross country team volunteered their time to help sort a month’s worth of packages which are delivered to both Woodland Primary and East Intermediate schools.

According to coach Stephanie Lind, JT’s Bar & Grill in Greenville donated dinner to the entire team Thursday evening for helping with the program. Each month a new volunteer group comes to the Grace Resurrection Community Center on the corner of Boston and East Water Street in Greenville to sort the food form deliveries. The food comes from funding raised from an annual Gala held in May which is organized by a

local couple. The Woodland PTA is always in need of more volunteers to help sort, deliver or package the food. If you are interested in volunteering and/or donating to the program, contact Lori at 937-547-9305 for more information. The PTA would like to thank the Grace Resurrection Community Center, Shared Harvest, the Fliehman family and all the volunteers that have helped over the past few years.

GREENVILLE – The students who are enrolled in Careers with Children have a unique opportunity to work hands on in a preschool. These students are interested in pursuing a Career in Education or working with children after high school. Students can earn a CDA (Child Development Associate), CPR and First Aid Certiﬁcations, Child Abuse Training, and Communicable Disease Training as well as articulated credits from Sinclair Community College. Each week the students plan, create, and implement lesson plans in the preschool lab. The students in this class are learning all about Ohio’s Early Learning Content Standards and how to create developmentally appropriate lesson plans. Every week the students cre-

ate lesson plans in the following areas: Math, Science, Social Studies, Music, Writing, Physical Development, Art, and Language and Literacy. Greenville Learning Center (GLC) is a full-time preschool operated inside of Green-

Students advance GREENVILLE – Greenville students recently participated in the BPA (Business Professionals of America) screening and were very successful in representing the school and community with pride.

Logan Emrick and Natalie Esarey will be moving onto the state level of the BPA screening. This is the ﬁrst time in seven years a Greenville student has advanced to the state level.

Fire Safety presentation GREENVILLE – Assistant Fire Chief David McDermitt recently visited the Greenville Career Tech facility to present the program Fire Safety in Healthcare Facili-

GREENVILLE – Greenville Career Technical Center is thrilled to announce 10 students from the Supply Chain Management Program have earned positions on Business Professionals of America’s Leadership team. On Sept. 16, the Region 3 Business Professionals of America (BPA) held its annual ofﬁcer screening at Greenville High School. Twentynine students from six area schools screened for ofﬁcer positions. Miami Valley Career Tech Center, Franklin Monroe, Valley View, Milton Union, Wayne and Greenville are all a part of the newly formed Region 3 for Business Professionals of America. Ten students out of the 13 executive board seats were earned by juniors and seniors from the Supply Chain Management (SCM) program at Greenville Career Technical Center. The screening process includes a live interview, person-

ally written speech to judges, web based exam covering the history of Business Professionals of America as well as past ofﬁcers names and positions held at the Regional and State levels, and the candidates presented their speech for recording purposes to be viewed by the full membership to determine ofﬁcer positions. All SCM students participated for real life experience with interviewing and presenting in front of business professionals. The students studied the BPA and memorized facts and details. In preparation for the competition the students had the opportunity to create a personal resume for themselves and learn about the factors of a successful interview. It is challenging for young people to not only get past the nervous state, but also express themselves clearly when in a challenging situation. The tag line for Business Professionals of

America – Today’s students, tomorrow’s business professionals, demonstrates the purpose for the program. BPA is structured to help develop effective leaders, team players and promotes professionalism.

Join in congratulating the students who will serve on BPA’s Executive Board for the 2014-2015 school year and for the entire SCM team for accomplishing a great feat – facing fears and feeling success.

Students help with screenings GREENVILLE – Every year, the seniors of Medical Tech Prep along with GHS School Nurse Kathy Jetter, conduct health screenings for all freshmen students within Greenville High School. Instructor of Med Tech Emily Powers provides her students with instruction on the skills needed in order to conduct the screenings. “Students are taught proper screening techniques for vision, hearing, height and weight as well as assessing blood pressure,” stated Mrs. Powers. These screenings provide the

freshmen population with an overall measure of their health and baseline knowledge of what these results mean. The Project Coordinator for the screenings and senior Med Tech student, Madisyn Pieper added, “Conducting the screenings is an event we all look forward to. We organize, plan and implement the screenings ourselves. This experience gives us the opportunity to practice the skills we have learned as well as practice bedside manner and how to communicate with our patients.”

Contamination hurts recycling HOLLANSBURG – Consider this: a contractor finishes a job cleaning up a rental property for a client. It’s time to dispose of the items the previous renter left behind. He’s cleaned up items such as clothes, shoes, broken toys and electronics, and just plain dirt. He could throw it in the trash can, but he opts for the district’s free recycling bin. He’s just contaminated the whole recycling bin, and now it’s destined for the garbage. In Darke County, the solid waste district holds various recycling events for residents to dispose of their hard to recycle items. Even though the district recycles these items on an annual basis, Rumpke will not accept them in their recycling bins. Items such as televisions, stereos, air conditioners, household chemicals, paint, plastic home goods and toys, and tires are prohibited in the bin. At this time, Rumpke can only recycle #1 and # 2 plastics, glass jars and bottles (no Pyrex or windows, etc), juice cartons, office paper and cardboard, and aluminum and metal cans. For a complete list of items accepted by Rumpke in the recycling bins, visit the Darke County Solid Waste District website at: http://www.co.darke. oh.us/solidwaste/whatcanberecycled.html or call the district office at 547-0827 to have a copy mailed to you. Unfortunately, not all county residents have a grasp on the guidelines, and it only takes one nonrecyclable item to spoil a whole bin of recyclables. Due to the continuous contamination in recycling bins, the bin in Hollansburg will be removed

as of Oct. 31. Recently found in the recycling bin has been televisions, laundry baskets, car parts, windows, ﬂower pots, stereo speakers, tires, and a 55-gal drum. If you have a question about whether or not something can be recycled, call the Darke

County Solid Waste District at 547-0827. If you are caught placing trash or non-recyclable materials in one of the district’s recycling bins, you are in violation of the Ohio Revised Code Law and its penalties and could be prosecuted.

Teen entrepreneur opens Greenville gaming store

Volunteers work with one of the clients at Horses and Humans, Helping Each Other. (Ryan Berry photo)

Horses help give miracles to Darke County families V E R SAILLES – When you think of a working horse you RYAN BERRY p r o b a b ly Managing Editor think of a bluebagmedia.com plow or cart hitched up to the back of a draft horse or maybe your mind goes to the days of the Pony Express or Stagecoach and perhaps others will think of the race track. Therapy is one area of work most people don’t associate with horses – dogs and cats, maybe – but not horses. As surprising as it may seem, horses are proving they can break through barriers that even the best therapists have trouble getting past. Horses & Humans, Helping Each Other opened six years ago when Judi York, an educator for 40 years, saw a need for helping students with developmental and special needs. She was able to match her love of teaching with her love of horses. With the assistance of her daughter Carrie Murray and a host of volunteers they have been able to help numerous kids with a myriad of special needs issues. York and Murray are both PATH International (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) certiﬁed instructors. PATH International is the industry standard for providing horseback riding as a form of physical and mental therapy. It took York over two years to complete the online course to become a certiﬁed instructor. According to York, there is something special about the horses that helps their clients connect and advance. They have seen children with core strength issues begin to develop their strength and

begin to sit up straight on the horse. There have been children that have only been able to string one or two words together ﬁnally speaking a whole sentence while sitting on the horse. Even the demeanor of emotionally disturbed kids changes when they are on one of the horses. She is hoping they will feel success and realize they can control themselves and be in a group setting. Those are the types of miracles that give York the most joy. Cognitive delays, traumatic brain injury, mild and severe autism, muscle malfunctions, developmental delays…Horses & Humans, Helping Each Other has successfully worked with all of these conditions. York isn’t the only one that has witnessed success stories. The Darke County Educational Service Center (ESC) began taking special needs students from around the county for therapeutic horseback riding as part of their physical education requirements. Lisa Guiffre, director of pupil services for the ESC, said she noticed the same success York has seen in some of her students. She said they are thrilled with the results they are seeing and feel this has been a great addition to their program. The clients are not the only ones receiving therapy from the horses. Even some of those that don’t go into the horse arena or touch any of the horses are able to ﬁnd answers to their issues. York has had parents thank her for the connections they have made with other parents. Some of the parents have never been able to discuss some of their issues because they didn’t know anyone like them. They learned they weren’t alone when they began bringing

their children to Horses & Humans, Helping Each Other. According to York, the horses also love their time with the children. The ﬁrst two horses worked almost until the time they passed away. She said when she retired one of the horses he stopped eating and was growing frailer. She decided to bring him over to the arena and let the kids brush and pet him. He immediately began to eat again. Two weeks after the session ended he passed away. The current horses are no different. She said she could let them out of the barn and they would probably go to the arena without being led. Horses & Humans, Helping Each Other has also taken a couple of riders to the Equine Special Olympics. One rider came home with gold and the other earned silver. York would love to continue that program, but it takes place during the same week as the Darke County Fair. York and Murray wouldn’t be able to provide the service they do without help. They rely on 30 volunteers each session to help with the kids. They are always looking for persons willing to spend a few hours on Tuesday and Thursday evenings to come out to the barn and lead the horses or walk beside and assist the kids. If you would like more information on Horses & Humans, Helping Each Other and to see if it’s right for your child or if you want to volunteer, email York at cowgirljy@ yahoo.com or call 4679616. The arena is located on Old State Route 242 west of the Darke County Airport. York and Murray will take clients for their spring session.

GREENVILLE – A teenage entrepreneur is excited to have recentCLINTON RANDALL ly opened Staff Writer his own bluebagmedia.com business near downtown Greenville.

They not only buy, sell and trade every kind of game or console, Go Go Gamers offers unique specials for students that are taking school just as serious as they gaming.

He also told The Early Bird they plan to donate to local schools after the business gets on its feet. “I have been selling on eBay for a few years, so now having my own business just makes sense,” Wintrow said. With today’s demand

Zydeco Experience has kids clapping & singing GREENVILLE – “No ﬁghting for the beads,” Terrance Simien told BOB ROBINSON several hunAssociate Editor dred Greenbluebagmedia.com ville South School students Oct. 29… “If you already have your beads, let the person next to you catch theirs!” Throughout his performance he tossed out beads, noting they were the types of beads used during Mardi Gras. “This is not a ‘shush’ performance,” Simien told the students, loud enough for the teachers to hear. He needed the kids to catch and feed on his energy as he introduced them to Zydeco for Kids… he often stepped off the stage and held his hand to his ear. The kids, already loud, were happy to yell and cheer even louder. “I love Darke County,” Simien said before the performance. He’d already been to other schools in the county as part of Darke County Center for the Arts’ ‘Arts in Education’ program. “I play for kids all over the world,” he added, grinning. “The kids here are well-behaved and they know how to listen to a performance.” “What are you getting ready to do?” he asked the students. “Trick or treat?” The students clapped and cheered. “You wear costumes and go door to door? What do you get?” “Candy!” they yelled. “That’s what they do in Mardi Gras (which he explained meant Fat Tuesday). They wear costumes and go door-to-door… do you know what they get?” he asked. “Chickens! Well, sometimes ducks.” Simien’s banter prepped kids for his songs, which were typically fast and toe-tapping. Zydeco is the music of the Creole people of Southern Louisiana. It started over 300 years ago as only voice, clapping hands and stomping feet. Over the

Three South students got to participate in the performance by playing zydeco rubboards, one of the few musical instruments invented in America. (Bob Robinson photo)

Terrance Simien talks about one of the four accordions he brought with him for his Arts in Education performance at South School. The instrument he’s holding only plays in the keys of C and G. (Bob Robinson photo)

years it evolved. The two key instruments in Zydeco today are the accordion and zydeco rubboard (one of the few musical instruments invented in America; an adaptation of the old washboard). Simien travels with four accordions and at least four rubboards. The accordion he used was a ‘diatonic’ accordion… it would only play in the keys of C and G. The other accordions allowed him to play in different keys. In addition to his rubboard player, he traveled with guitar, drums, keyboard and bass players. Newcomers to his band included students called up from the audience to play his rubboards. Among Simien’s credits are a duet with Paul Simon (Simon and Garfunkel), two Grammies and a collaboration with Randy Newman for their

historical “Princess & the Frog” Oscar nominated, animated ﬁlm. He started performing 33 years ago, and has done his education program for kids for 16 years. Keith Rawlins, artistic director for Darke County Center for the Arts, said he’s been trying to get Simien to Darke County for years, but they could never afford him. “This last time when I called and said we wanted him for our Arts in Education program, Terrance said ‘tell me more’.” Rawlins told him more. “Will you get us a place to stay?” Rawlins said he would. Simien was already booked for a show near Cleveland on Saturday, so the deal was made…. for a fraction of the normal cost. “It was a gift,” said Rawlins.

Greenville BPW hosts guest night

PALS and Jr. Naturalist classes GREENVILLE – Several students joined the Darke County Parks for the Park P.A.L.S. class, “What’s that Smell?” in October to see if they could ﬁgure out which animal leaves behind such a strong smell. Class began by looking at skunk furs and skulls and talking about the unique characteristics of our Striped Skunk. The students also explored the four skunk species that are found in North America. After some indoor activities, the class hit the trails looking for signs of skunks. Class ﬁnished up with a game of

skunk tag and a craft. If your Kindergarten through second grade child missed out on this Park P.A.L.S. class and would like to attend our next class, join them on Nov. 15 for Buggy Bugs from 9:30 a.m.-noon. There are also monthly programs available for third through sixth graders called Junior Naturalists. November’s theme is Autumn Trees and will occur on Nov. 22, 10 a.m.12:30 p.m. Please call the Nature Center at 548-0165 to sign up. Check out their Nature Notes at www. darkecountyparks.org.

GREENVILLE – Brought to you by Flory Landscaping and Lawn Care Inc., Greenville, OH, Your Landscape/ Gardening tip of the week: Asian Lady Beetles The Asian Lady Beetle is fairly new to this country. The beetle is native to Asia. The ﬁrst ﬁeld population appearance of the Asian Lady Beetle was is 1988 in Louisiana. Although, in the 1960’s to 1990’s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture attempted to control the agricultural pest in nine dif-

ferent states by releasing large numbers of beetles, but the new infestations in U.S. are not from the releases but from being accidently transported into New Orleans on a freighter from Japan. Asian Lady Beetles are oval, and their color can vary from tan to orange to red with black spots. They spray off a noxious odor and yellowish staining ﬂuid before dying. When fall starts the beetles leave their summer feeding sites in yards and ﬁelds to protected

Ag program grows to meet local needs CELINA – The Wright State University Lake Campus Agriculture program was established in 2009 to meet the local needs in training individuals for career opportunities in the broad field of agriculture, ranging from farm production and business services to food manufacturing. The campus currently offers a Certificate in Farm Management, an Associates of Technical Study in Agriculture, and a Bachelors of Technical and Applied Studies in Agriculture. The Lake Campus is somewhat unique in that few colleges offer the opportunity for students to advance through various levels of a degree (2+2 format) all at one location. The program also benefits from the strong support of the local agricultural industry from guest speakers, adjunct professors, and tour locations. This direct application of material is useful to students that desire a hands-on relevant education. Each semester, the campus offers a variety of coursework ranging from animal science and crop production to agricultural business and food science courses. With the support of Senator Keith Faber and

Students in the Integrated Pesticide Management course taught by Greg McGlinch tour TruPointe Cooperative learning about safety, regulations, and proper application procedures for agricultural pesticides.

Representative Jim Buchy, the Lake Campus has expanded stafﬁng and course offerings in agriculture to better meet local needs. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Greg Homan, “A grant was awarded to better position our programs by hiring Greg McGlinch as our Agriculture Program Coordinator and the development of a variety of expanded course offerings.” New courses currently being offered or under development include: Animal Health and Physiology, Engineering Applications in Agriculture, Weather, Climate and Crop Growth, Agriculture Finance, Integrated Pest Management. The

campus is currently serving its largest incoming classes studying agriculture and anticipates further expansion to serve this growing local need and strong support from local employers seeking graduates. The Lake Campus will be holding an Open House on Nov. 20, 4-7 p.m. Potential students can learn about agriculture and food science degree options along with the wide array of opportunities offered at the Lake Campus. For more information on the Lake Campus Agriculture Program, contact Greg McGlinch, Program Coordinator, at 419-5860810.

OSU Tailgate Party Blood Drive set for November 11 GREENVILLE - The OSU Tailgate Party Blood Drive promises to be a fun event, complete with yummy buckeyes and lots of OSU memorabilia as door prizes. Mark your calendars for Nov. 11 from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. to show your community spirit as well

as OSU spirit and plan to donate blood at Greenville Church of the Brethren on Central Street in Greenville. Many Buckeye fans have contributed toward making this a great afternoon and are hoping for a record number of donors. For a speedy in and

out opportunity to donate, it is best to make an appointment by calling 1.800.388.4483 or just drop in and enjoy the OSU ambience. Make sure that, in addition to a chance to win an OSU door prize, you enjoy an OSU buckeye and other goodies.

ARCANUM – Turn the game Clue into a play, and you have the masterfully entertaining Murder’s in the Heir! Almost every character has the weapon, opportunity and motive to commit the unseen murder. It’s up to the audience to decide who actually did it. The tyrannical billionaire Simon Starkweather gathers his family and employees to announce the contents of his will. His lawyer, Lois van

Zandt, reveals that he has bequeathed vast fortunes to his befuddled niece Fiona, her playboy son Jordan, his great-niece Paula, and his grandson Simon III, as well as to his many servants. Then Lois delivers the bombshell. Within hours, this will becomes invalid. Of course, the rejected heirs are not please, so it’s not surprising when they roam the old mansion carrying such items

as an ax, a gun and poison. What will happen to Simon? Which person is the guilty party? The family is going to need the help of detective Mike Davis. Make plans to be a part of a fun-ﬁlled night of entertainment. Production dates are Nov. 7 and 8 starting at 7:00 p.m. in the Arcanum High School Cafe. Price for adults are $5, students $3, senior citizens and children under four are free.

Drama club hosts murder mystery

Local realtor to help support youth programs GREENVILLE – Shaun Hayes, realtor from Berkshire Hathaway Homes Services Professional Realty, has started an initiative designed to help support local youth programs, ranging from sports programs, such as football and soccer, to youth church, school and community programs, such as choir and scouting. “This is a great way for local organizations to make some extra money for equipment, parties, trophies… whatever the group decides,” Hayes said. He plans to donate $250 to

the program of choice for anyone thinking of buying or selling a home if they list or make their purchase through his agency. “List with or buy through me; the donation will come out of my commission,” he said. Hayes acknowledged he knows nothing about sports, but the idea came when his son started playing Pee Wee football. “I was at one of his practices and heard conversations where a couple kids wanted to play but their parents didn’t have the money for them to participate.” He noted this

would hopefully make it a little easier for groups to involve more kids or meet other ﬁnancial needs. “I don’t have an end date for this,” he said. “It’s just a way for me to give back to the community.” He added this would be an automatic donation. “They don’t even have to bring it up or ask about it,” he said. “I’ll do it automatically to the program of their choice.” He can be reached at (937) 423-3422, shays@bhhspro.com, or go to his website smhayes.com.

GLUTEN FREE CHIFFON CAKE 1 & 1/2 cups extra fine sugar, divided 1 & 1/4 cups white rice flour ½ cups potato starch 1/4 cups tapioca starch 1 T. baking powder 1 t. salt 1/2 t. cardamom 1 & 1/2 t. pumpkin pie spice 1/2 t. xanthan gum 7 large eggs, separated 1 cup boiling water 7-8 black tea bags (for color) 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 t. vanilla extract 1/4 t. cream of tartar

Boil water, seep tea bags in water for 5 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Separate eggs, putting whites in bowl of stand mixer (rinsed first with vinegar). Bring whites to room temperature. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk together 1/2 c. sugar, white rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum in medium bowl. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, 3/4 c. brewed tea, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Add whisked dry ingredients. Mix until thick batter is thick and smooth. In bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Whip on high speed until very frothy. Add in 1 c. sugar gradually until stiff and glossy. Mix in a quarter of the whipped whites to lighten the batter, then fold in the rest, taking care not to deflate the batter until no large lumps of egg whites remain. Spoon batter into ungreased 10 inch tube (angel food ) pan. Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back to the touch about one hour. Remove from oven and immediately invert pan either onto legs that are on the pan or onto the neck of a bottle. Allow cake to cool in the pan upside down. To remove cake from pan, run a knife around the outside of the cake and around the tube. Turn cake onto a serving plate. Store cake, covered, on the counter for up to four days. To make extra fine sugar, process sugar in food processor for 30 seconds. Extra fine sugar helps ensure a consistent texture.
